The Second Annual Wolves Football Week is underway. Players planning on playing football for the Kane Wolves next fall will be attending open field nights this Tuesday and Wednesday. A Red and Blue Game will take place on Thursday at the high school, weather permitting. The week caps off with the annual Lift-a-thon on Friday. Players and coaches are pictured here watching as Dillon Mattis attempts a field goal.
